ASSEMBLY
Add Oil Cont’d.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will
stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the
threshold level.
CAUTION
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the unit. During the break in period stay at
or below 50% of the running watt rating and vary the
load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and
cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to
vary and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in
period, change the oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.
NOTE
Add Engine Oil
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.6 L (0.6 qt.) of oil. Replace oil fill cap/
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly filled with the recommended type and
amount of oil. Damage to the log splitter as a result of
failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
